Right, then. Backstory first:
Moiraine started getting lessons from Dream. Somewhat later during a threadzilla Dream loans her a key to his Garden (you know you want to add to it!), as she's learned most of the lessons he wants her to know. During this thread it becomes apparent that Dream feels rather protective and somewhat fond of the people that he's been putting through nightmares (yes, Anthy, you too) even though it isn't stated, mostly that came out over OOC comments on AIM..
The other night Rand al'Thor shows up, and refer to this summary here.
A day (or two?) later Rand goes back, and attempts to bring Moiraine as well.
It doesn't work. At all. Moiraine cries a bit. Dream gets involved. We're finally getting close to tonight. There is angst about the fact that Dream doesn't think he can help, so he decides to see if he can use the weirdness that is Milliways to make a loop out of the Dreaming and help Moiraine get free. Sometimes Dream is an idiot.
People get worried. But Dream is being noble.
Which leads to tonight:
Moiraine and Mogget have a brief conversation on poetry and freedom.
There is a briefer conversation dealing with the two demons showing up.
Dream gives Moiraine an extension on her time in the Garden, because she shouldn't have to go back to nightmares after coming so close to freedom. He requests that she tell him in more detail about when she fell into the world of dreams. She complies and he attempts to use that information to see if he can loop himself. It works. Kind of. Almost.
Peter prays, Moiraine tries to keep from screaming, Desire faints, and Will stares.
Despair helps Desire wake up, and the two of them have a conversation about Liz, Dream, and the nature of games.
Meanwhile, Peter realizes that the Keys to the Garden are part of Dream. He can't be dead. It is decided that he must be lost, probably in the Dreaming. A search party begins to be thrown together. They decide to use the WoT method of searching the dream world: each step is taken by need.
In order to get rid of all doubts between them, Peter takes Veritaserum. Moiraine is impressed, and asks him if he's a servant of darkness, plans on being it again, or is actually seeking redemption. She is pleased with his answers, and offers to take Veritaserum herself. Peter declines her offer and makes the Madb all weepy for the eleventy-seventh time tonight.
Will comes over carrying Ender Wiggin and agrees to help with the search and rescue. He doesn't have a key, but he's got the ability to look into dreams, so he's planning on hitching a ride with one of the sleepers. There is the warning that he'll just be another dreamer there.
They decide to do more planning before jumping into Dream's world, proving that neither of them are stupid. They also get Ender to guard the bodies while they sleep, making sure that the rescue party doesn't need to be rescued.
Meanwhile Dream freaks out
Everyone dies of the sleepy.
